"It's always a huge test going to the Hyde" - Bannigan January 29, 2026Monaghan manager Gabriel Bannigan ©INPHO/James Lawlor Monaghan manager Gabriel Bannigan ©INPHO/James LawlorMonaghan boss Gabriel Bannigan says his side are expecting “a huge test” this weekend as they travel to take on Roscommon in the second round of the Allianz Football League.
Speaking to BBC Sport NI, Bannigan said his side will need an improved performance if they are to take home points from King & Moffatt Dr Hyde Park on Sunday (throw-in 2pm).
"It's always a huge test going to the Hyde; I'm not sure how many years it's been since Monaghan won there," he said.
"Last year it was probably the toughest game we had in Division 2, so it will be a tough game.
"Roscommon will be buoyed by that performance down in Kerry, so we will have to be a lot better than today if we are going to put it up to them."
